Miami City Hall (Miami, Florida)

 interesting place, city hall, Art Deco (architecture)

Originally the Pan Am terminal for their seaplane and 'Clipper' service to Cuba and points south. Designed c. 1933 by Delano & Aldrich, the Dinner Key Terminal and Airport was the most modern and largest marine air facility in the world, leading the way to Pan Am's future role as an international leader in aviation, transportation of people, property and mail. Referred to as the “Air Gateway between the Americas” the airport became a famous visiting attraction.

In 1954, the Pan American seaplane terminal became the home to Miami’s City Hall. Over the years City Hall has become internationally known as the “Gateway to the Americas”. Indeed, this slogan also represents the eventual reach and worldwide recognition of Pan American World Airway. The building today is occupied by the Mayor, Commissioners and the City Clerk.
